British Comics Update: Long Hot Summer: Tammy Holiday and Summer Specials
*Girls’ Comics: It’s a timely return for one of our most popular features of yore. Long Hot Summer spotlights that wonderful holiday institution of British comics: the holiday or summer special. We commence with the first three specials of Tammy from 1971-73. The 1971 is entitled Tammy & Sally, the 1973 Tammy & Sandie, as Tammy absorbed some of her siblings. Chock full of stories of favourite characters from the titles represented, plus puzzles, quizzes, features, pin-ups, and indeed everything essential to entertain the kiddies while they were off school in bumper reading packages.
